How much do you spend for a night out? - Page 2

Depending on the day and what bar you go to you can spend anywhere from 60 bucks to 5 bucks for the whole night. On Thursday night it's .25 draws at one bar and $6 buckets of beer at another place. I need like 4 beers and I'm done, I've gotten to be much more of a lightweight in my old age. Cover isn't too bad around here, the most expensive I've seen is $5.

The most money I ever spent was on a Thursday night at the bar with the quarter beers, but I decided to drink vodka tonics (like twenty of them I guess) and shots which obviously not a good idea.

I don't like to spend money when I go out though, so I usually find someone to do it for me.

Depends on the amount of pre-gaming. Usually my roommate and I will get a case of beer and a bottle of crown and finish that, and then head down to the bars.

Last call is at 3 and the bar closes at 3:30. With a good pre-game in, I usually spend about a bill. $5 for cover and ~5 per drink. If I go to the bar sober, ~$150. Although, if I hit the specials I can get pretty drunk off $20. Drink and drown, or 25 cent bottles and the like.

Wow,

I must say I'm super jealous of all the cheap nights y'all have. I spent about $120 tonight and I'm not even really drunk at this point (I do have a rather ridiculousy high tolerance for the happy sauce). The place I was at had a 50 cent cover for students and 50 cent half pints till 11pm, but after gunning the first few wobbly pops before eleven it was all $4.50 drinks and like $6 shots of tequila. Needless to say with cabs and such, things add up rather quickly.

I'm all

that some of you can spend 100 bucks a night outside of places like San Francisco/New York. Maybe this is just a guy/girl thing, but I have no clue how anyone could spend over 100 a night when you're drinking five dollar drinks.

It's really not difficult, in the slightest.

I think it is a guy/girl thing then, 'cause I'd be dead at that point. Even with very weak drinks I don't think I could handle more than eight.

Then again, you're talking to the girl that passed out by 11:30 after spending zero money last night (I forgot I'm a lightweight now, and I'm sure the Jager didn't help) so maybe it's just me.

When I lived in Ohio, I'd usually spend about $10 - 20 a night at the bars, depending on how many drinks I could get for free. 21 + women usually don't have to pay cover in Oxford.

DC is a whole 'nother animal. We save money by going out earlier to avoid cover and avoiding dance clubs (which isn't really my scene anyway.) I also leave early enough to take the Metro home so I don't have to pay for a cab. I had a tea-infused martini at one bar that was $12, and man was it good, but I can't justify paying for more than one of those.

Guys tend to buy more drinks for other people also. Also we tend to tip a lot per drink. Or at least my acquaintances did.

I am not sure what girls tipped, but they tended to buy a lot less drinks for other people. In my experience of course.

A lot of times going out I would buy a lot more drinks for other people than I would drink myself, which could rack up some serious money even at drink special prices.

Rounds of shots add up.

It is possible in St. Louis.

Rio_Kohitsuji · #25 06-26-2005, 11:16 PM

I spend, err, my boy spends around $20-$30 for me

But then again, that's without the pregame. With pregame, it's only around $10-$15. Oh, this is in Athens, whoo!

mmcat · #26 06-26-2005, 11:59 PM

my neighborhood saloon is quite good in terms of prices. i can get all the happiness i need for $6 to $8 for an evening.

There is a bar out here that has 5 cent Natty lights, so on our cheap nights we go there, you can spent 5 bucks and be done!!!

But usually I spend between 20-30. I only go to places w/ cover on special occasions. Every place in Denton is free to get in, that I go to anyway.

I don't keep track of how much money I spend when I go out anymore. I don't think about it the more I drink. I don't pay drink by drink.....usually at any given club at least 3 of us have tabs going all at once. Its good and bad. Most of the time it allows you and everyone else to keep getting drunk without thinking how high the tabs are.

Its a real shocker how quickly it adds up. When the bar closes, if you're not bludgen drunk, it's a sobering moment when the bar tab comes out to be around $150+ after tip. And I didn't even try to think about how much money I spent back in my Tony Montana days

I remember waking up once on the couch seeing 3 girls in bras and thongs and an assload of powder on the table. For a minute I thought I was dreaming about being in the Rockies in December with a bunch of nakked ZTAs.

-That would have been one awesome dream.

Going out for a nite on the town usually costs me about $35 or so. That includes pregaming and the obligitory stop at Pat O's for a Hurricane if were downtown.

However there are variables. Friday night just involved drinking at my buddy's bar and there was only the $5 cover. Drank free all night long.

Saturday nite included stops at 4 clubs and 2 tiddy bars. Had the beautiful lady with me all night long (the tiddy bars were here idea, I swear) and I bought all her drinks. I spent about $100, and consider that I got off pretty cheap.

Nothing. I make sure I go out with ballers.

Any wealthy men reading this?????
